Worker on massive pile of collected shoes showing scale of footwear recovery operations

[THE_FOOTWEAR_CRISIS]

Every second, 760 pairs of shoes are thrown away globally. The footwear industry has created an environmental crisis that traditional recycling cannot solve.

Massive pile of discarded shoes showing the scale of global footwear waste crisis

Unlike other materials, footwear presents unique challenges that make traditional recycling impossible.

Complex Material Bonding

Each shoe contains 15-40 different materials permanently bonded with industrial adhesives, making separation nearly impossible.

No Infrastructure Exists

Current recycling facilities are designed for single materials, not the complex multi-material construction of footwear.

Economic Unfeasibility

Manual separation is labor-intensive and costly, making it economically unviable at the scale needed.

This creates a massive environmental crisis requiring specialized recovery solutions that can handle footwear's unique complexity.
